As mentioned above, the intelligent transport system (ITS) includes three parts: a vehicle end, a road end and a cloud end, and the three parts cooperate with each other to provide different services for different types of vehicles. In a conventional ITS solution, a data packet is generally transmitted to a vehicle by using a lane coordination V2X communication technology, however different types of packets on different roadsides are not differentially controlled. This may result in insufficient resource utilization, and when resources such as a network conflict, an emergency message is also affected, which is not conducive to implementation of intelligent traffic and safe driving of a vehicle.

According to various at least some embodiments of the present disclosure, solutions of managing a roadside device are provided. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloudside device acquires the data packet from the roadside device, and the data packet includes at least one of state information of the roadside device and dynamic traffic information associated with the roadside device. Correspondingly, the cloudside device adjusts a packet transmission policy for a data link associated with the roadside device based on the data packet, the data link including at least one of a first downlink from the roadside device to a vehicle, a first uplink from the vehicle to the roadside device, a second uplink from the roadside device to the cloudside device, and a second downlink from the cloudside device to the roadside device. Through this embodiment, the cloudside device can customize the packet transmission policy for the roadside device according to the data packet sent by the roadside device, thereby achieving personalized control for the roadside device, and providing the efficiency of the system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which various embodiments of the present disclosure is implemented.

As shown in FIG. 1 , an environment 100 includes a vehicle 110, a roadside device 120 and a cloudside device 130. In this exemplary embodiment as shown in FIG. 1 , a vehicle 110 may be any type of vehicle that may carry people and/or things and moves through a power system such as an engine, including but not limited to, a car, a truck, a bus, an electric car, a motorcycle, a house and a train. The at least one vehicle 110 in the environment 100 may include an autopilot vehicle having autonomous driving capability, a networked vehicle having communication capability, or an ordinary public driving vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the roadside device 120 may be in communication with the vehicle 110 to send traffic information to the vehicle 110 or to acquire data from the vehicle 110.

In some implementations, the link for communication between the roadside device 120 and the vehicle 110 may include a first uplink 112 from the vehicle 110 to the roadside device 120 or a first downlink 114 from the roadside device 120 to the vehicle 110.

The first uplink 112 is used for transmitting the data packet from the vehicle 110 to the roadside device 120. The first downlink 114 is used for transmitting the data packet from the roadside device 120 to the vehicle 110. In some implementations, the first uplink 112 and the first downlink 114 are used for transmitting the packet according to the V2X standard.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the roadside device 120 may be also in communication with a cloudside device 130. In some implementations, the link for communication between the roadside device 120 and the cloudside device 130 may include a second uplink 122 from the roadside device 120 to the cloudside device 130 and a second downlink 124 from the cloudside device 130 to the roadside device 120. The second uplink 122 is used for transmitting the data packet from the roadside device 120 to the cloudside device 130. The second downlink 124 is used for transmitting the data packet from the cloudside device 130 to the roadside device 120.

In some implementations, the second uplink 122 is further divided into a roadside state information uplink and a roadside service data uplink according to different functions. For example, the roadside 120 periodically reports operation state, version information, geographical position and abnormal information to the cloudside device 130 through the roadside state information uplink.

In some implementations, the roadside device 120 may report the state information of the roadside device 120 to the cloudside device 130 through the roadside state information uplink according to a packet format specified in Table 1.

As shown in Table 4, traffic flow and traffic index information may include various data for describing traffic flow and traffic index in an environment associated with the roadside device 120, such as traffic flow in different directions of an intersection, the number of vehicles in a lane within one minute, etc.

In some implementations, dynamic traffic information may further include other suitable types of information, such as signal light information, road network information, etc. It should be understood that any suitable packet format is used for transmitting the above information, which will not be described in detail herein.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy for the data link (e. g., the first uplink 112, the first downlink 114, the second uplink 122, or the second downlink 124) associated with the roadside device 120 according to state information or dynamic traffic information obtained from the roadside device 120. A detailed process of adjusting the packet transmission policy is described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 .

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a method 200 for managing a roadside device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The method 200 is implemented at the cloudside device 130 as shown in FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 2 , at block 202, the cloudside device 130 obtains a data packet from the roadside device 120, and the data packet includes at least one of state information of the roadside device and dynamic traffic information associated with the roadside device.

As discussed above as shown in FIG. 1 , the cloudside device 130 may receive the data packet from the roadside device 120 through the second uplink 122. The data packet may include state information as defined in Table 1, traffic participant information as defined in Table 2, traffic event information as defined in Table 3, or traffic flow and traffic index information as defined in Table 4, etc.

In block 204, the cloudside device 130 adjusts a packet transmission policy for a data link associated with the roadside device 120 based on the data packet, the data link including at least one of a first downlink 114 from the roadside device 120 to a vehicle 110, a first uplink 112 from the vehicle 110 to the roadside device 120, a second uplink 122 from the roadside device 120 to the cloudside device 130, and a second downlink 124 from the cloudside device 130 to the roadside device 120.

The detailed process of block 204 will be described below for different embodiments.

Embodiment One

In the embodiment one, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy of the data link associated with the roadside device 120 based on the communication state of the roadside device 120.

Exemplarily, the data packet received by the cloudside device 130 may include state information for indicating a communication state of the roadside device 120. The communication state may be used for describing whether the communication module of the roadside device 120 is operating normally.

In some implementations, based on the data packet, in response to determining that the communication module of the roadside device 120 operates abnormally, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy so that the first downlink 114 is at least partially disabled and the roadside device 112 stops sending service data to the vehicle 110. Based on this manner, erroneous control of the vehicle 110 due to communication abnormality of the roadside device 120 is avoided.

Alternatively, based on the data packet, in response to determining that the communication module of the roadside device 120 operates abnormally, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy so that the second downlink 124 is at least partially disabled and the roadside device 112 stops sending service data to the vehicle 110.

In some implementations, the second downlink 124 is used for transmitting control information and service data information. Accordingly, in response to the communication abnormality of the roadside device 120, the function of the traditional control information is retained and the transmission of the service data information is disabled. Based on this manner, as the roadside device 120 will not deliver service data to the traffic device, disabling the transmission of service data information for the second downlink 124 can avoid unnecessary communication overhead.

In some implementations, the second uplink 122 is turned on to continue to receive service data from the roadside device 120, such as traffic participant information, traffic event information, or traffic flow and traffic index information.

Embodiment Two

In the embodiment two, a cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy of the data link associated with the roadside device 120 based on a computation state of the roadside device 120.

Exemplarily, the data packet received by the cloudside device 130 from the roadside device 120 includes state information for indicating the computation state of the roadside device 120. The computation state may describe whether a computation module of the roadside device 120 operates normally.

In some implementations, based on the data packet, in response to determining that the computation module of the roadside device 120 operates abnormally, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy so that the second downlink is at least partially disabled and the roadside device 120 stops sending service data to the cloudside device.

The service data, such as traffic participant information, traffic event information, or traffic flow and traffic index information, sent by the roadside device 120 usually depends on the local computation capability of the roadside device 120. Once the computation module of the roadside device 120 operates abnormally, the service data computed by the roadside device 120 may be erroneous. Partially disabling the second uplink 124 can avoid having an impact on the data aggregation of the cloudside device 130 due to the abnormality of a computation module.

In some implementations, when a computation module of the roadside device 120 operates abnormally, at least one of the second downlink 122 and the first downlink 124 is normally enabled to support issuing service data from the cloudside device 130 to the vehicle 110.

Embodiment Three

In the embodiment three, the state information may further include a static description of the traffic environment associated with the roadside device 120. For example, such a static description may include the type of road on which the roadside device 120 is located, e.g., a city road, a road intersection, a highway, etc. Accordingly, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy according to a type of road associated with the roadside device 120.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may specify a type of packet allowed to be transmitted or prohibited from being transmitted on the data link for different types of roads. For example, when the roadside device 120 is located in a highway environment, and typically has a low demand for traffic flow information on the highway, the cloudside device 130 may enable packet associated with traffic flow to no longer be transmitted in the at least one of first downlink 114, the second uplink 122, and the second downlink 124.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may further determine power, frequency, or priority of different packets transmitted on the data link for different types of roads.

For example, when the roadside device 120 is located in a highway environment, and typically has a low demand for traffic flow information on the highway, the cloudside device 130 may enable a packet associated with the traffic flow to be transmitted with at least one of lower priority, lower frequency, and lower power to reduce occupancy of communication resources. On the contrary, in highway scenarios, the demand for traffic event information is usually strong, thus the cloudside device 130 may enable the packet associated with traffic flow to be transmitted with at least one of higher priority and higher power.

Based on this manner, the roadside device 120 can utilize limited communication resources more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

Embodiment Four

In the embodiment four, the dynamic traffic information includes traffic participant information for describing traffic participants in the environment associated with the roadside device 120. Accordingly, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy according to the traffic participant information.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may specify a type of packet allowed to be transmitted or prohibited from being transmitted on the data link.

For example, in response to determining that an environment (such as, an intersection) does not include vehicle within a predetermined time, the cloudside device 130 may adjust a packet transmission policy so that a specific type of a packet (such as, a traffic light data packet) is no longer transmitted, thereby avoiding occupation of communication resources.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may further determine power, frequency, or priority of different packets transmitted on the data link based on traffic participant information.

Exemplary, in response to determining that an environment (such as, an intersection) includes a large number of vehicles, the cloudside device 130 may adjust a packet transmission policy, thereby appropriately increasing a frequency of a traffic event packet and simultaneously and appropriately reducing power of the traffic event packet, and simultaneously reducing the frequency of a traffic light data packet, and increasing the power of the traffic light data packet.

Based on this manner, the roadside device 120 can utilize limited communication resources more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

Embodiment Five

In the embodiment five, the dynamic traffic information includes traffic event information for describing a traffic event in the environment associated with the roadside device 120. Accordingly, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy according to the traffic event information.

In some implementations, in response to determining that a specific type of traffic event has occurred in the environment associated with the roadside device 120, the cloudside device 130 may specify the type of packet allowed to be transmitted or prohibited from being transmitted on the data link.

For example, in response to determining that a road construction event occurs in an environment, as a traffic light may not operate normally, the cloudside device 130 may adjust a packet transmission policy so that a packet associated with traffic light is no longer transmitted.

In some implementations, in response to determining that a specific type of traffic event has occurred in the environment associated with the roadside device 120, the cloudside device 130 may further determine power, frequency, or priority of different packets transmitted on the data link based on the traffic event.

For example, in response to determining that a traffic accident occurs in the environment, it is expected that a driver at a farther distance may obtain the information. Accordingly, the cloudside device 130 may adjust a packet transmission policy so that a packet associated with a traffic accident is transmitted with at least one of higher priority, higher power, and higher frequency.

Based on this manner, the roadside device 120 can utilize limited communication resources more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

Embodiment Six

In the embodiment six, the dynamic traffic information includes traffic flow and traffic event information for describing the traffic flow and traffic index in an environment associated with the roadside device 120. Accordingly, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy according to the traffic flow and traffic index information.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may specify a type of packet allowed to be transmitted or prohibited from being transmitted on the data link based on the traffic flow and traffic index information.

For example, in response to determining that the traffic flow is lower than the threshold, the cloudside device 130 may adjust the packet transmission policy so that packets of a predetermined type (e.g., road network information packets) are no longer transmitted.

In some implementations, the cloudside device 130 may further determine power, frequency, or priority of different packets transmitted on the data link based on traffic flow and traffic index information.

Exemplarily, in response to determining that traffic of an automobile in a lane is relatively heavy, the cloudside device 130 may adjust a packet transmission policy, thereby increasing at least one of frequency and priority of an event packet, and appropriately reducing power of the packet.

Based on this manner, the roadside device 120 can utilize limited communication resources more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned specific type of data link being disabled or enabled, the specific type of packet being disabled or enabled, and/or the specific type of packet being adjusted in priority or frequency or power are all exemplary, and it should be understood that, which specific type of data link should be enabled or disabled, which the type of the packet should be enabled or disabled, and which type of the packet should be adjusted at priority or frequency or power, etc., is set according to actual scenario requirements.

In some implementations, when the packet transmission policy involves the first uplink 112, the first downlink 114, or the second uplink 122, the cloudside device 130 may generate a control packet to the roadside device 120 based on the packet transmission policy.

Correspondingly, after receiving the control packet, the roadside device 120 may correspondingly execute a packet control policy corresponding to the control packet, so as to achieve the enabling or disabling of a data link of a predetermined type, the enabling or disabling of a packet of a predetermined type, the priority or frequency or power adjustment of a packet of a predetermined type, etc.

In some implementations, a basic processing flow of the cloudside device 130 may include: buffering a packet in a packet queue, performing an over-current processing and multi-thread processing, inputting result data into a packet queue and buffering same, then passing through a packet transmission policy configuration module, so as to set enabling or disabling of a data link, enabling or disabling of a packet, a sending frequency, sending power and a priority of the packet, and finally passing through an adaptation distribution module to different roadside devices 120.
